Police captain Mat Joubert of Cape Town's Murder and Robbery Department, on a downward spiral since the death of his wife two years earlier, is given a last chance to redeem himself on the job when he is assigned to find a killer who is using a century-old German handgun and ancient bullets to gun down a string of seemingly unrelated victims.
